| Important Questions | Answers | Why this Matters: |
| What is the overall deductible? | $1,000 Individual or $2,000 Family |
Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the plan, each family member must meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all family members meets the overall family deductible. |
| Are there services covered before you meet your deductible? | Yes. Preventive care, office visits subject to a copayment, Prescription drugs subject to a copayment, Urgent care and eye exam/glasses for children are covered before you meet your deductible. | This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive services without cost-sharing and before you meet your deductible. See a list of covered preventive services at https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/. |

No | You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services |
